Hi Loka
Thanks for writing in.
There are several things that need to be addressed here:
a. Your diabetes and trigycerides are not properly controlled. More aggressive therapy and lifestyle modification is needed.
b. At this level, triglycerides cannot be controlled by simply lifestyle modification. You would need additional therapy.
c. The chest pain can be due to heart disease, a problem in the lungs or a muscle spasm. If the pain increases on exertion or stress, please get an ECG done immediately. This may have to be followed by a treadmill test. Otherwise you can end up with a heart attack. Heart disease as it is is very common in diabetics.
These symptoms should not be taken lightly and they definitely mandate an evaluation
Hope that helps
regards
